My drive says (/proc/scsi/scsi) Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 04106-XXX Rev: 715G Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 which I would interpret to be Scorpion as far as the above document is concerned, since the revision number is 715G. -- Confucious say too damn much!
